I've been looking into hatchets lately... Gransfors Bruks seems to have quite a following. Thing is though I'm not sure if their hatchets can adequately handle the types of hard wood that we have up here in Canada. Apparently the steel they use is something resembling L-6.
Does anyone know where I can get a nice hatchet with a head of CPM-3V? Maybe there are custom makers that would do it???? The closest thing I found was this: http://www.gpknives.com/striderbsbreachershatchetblackg10blackblade.html a breacher's hatchet, which isn't really what I'm looking for. Besides that, I find 500$ to be just a LIIIITTLE bit steep.
I'm thinking that 3V's exceptional toughness and good wear resistance would be *Awe-SOME*
